Charon Picture

"In Greek mythology, Charon was the ferryman of Hades.Charon took the newly dead across the river Acheron or Styx if they had an obolus to pay for the ride. Those who could not had to wander the banks of the Acheron for one hundred years. Corpses in some regions in ancient Greece were buried or burned with 2 gold coins, called an aureus, on their eyes to pay the fare."[Wikipedia]
